Borosilicate glass was first made by German chemist and glass technologist Otto Schott, founder of Schott AG in 1893. Schott AG sold the product under the name "Duran". In 1908, Eugene Sullivan, director of research at Corning Glass Works, developed Nonex, a borosilicate low-expansion glass, to reduce breakage. Borosilicate glass is “hard” glass manufactured at a higher temperature and thus able to withstand oven and freezer temperature changes. Jesse Littleton of Corning discovered the cooking potential of borosilicate glass by giving his wife a casserole dish. The added boron allows Pyrex to handle heat much better than typical glass. Pyrex made its public debut in 1915 during World War I as an American-produced alternative to Duran. Introduced by Corning Incorporated in 1915 for a line of clear, low-thermal-expansion borosillicate glass. Corning Incorporated is an American manufacturer of glass, ceramics, and related materials, primarily for industrial and scientific applications. The company was known as Corning Glassworks until 1989, when it changed its name to Corning Incorporated. Corning Glass Works was founded in 1851 by Amory Houghton, in Somerville, Massachusetts, originally as the Bay State Glass Co. It later moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York, and operated as the Brooklyn Flint Glass Works. The company moved again to its ultimate home and namesake, the city of Corning, New York, in 1868 under leadership of the founder's son, Amory Houghton, Jr. In 1998, Corning divested itself of its consumer lines of CorningWare and Corelle tableware and Pyrex cookware selling them to World Kitchen, but still holds an interest of about 8%. Pyrex sold in the United States is now made of tempered glass; outside of North America the costlier borosilicate is still used. Pyrex sold in the United States is made of tempered soda-lime glass, which does not handle heat as well as borosilicate glass does. There have been complaints about the new glass exploding especially if you shock the glass with drastic temperature changes. For instance removing a glass casserole dish from the oven and setting it on a cold, wet granite countertop. When it explodes, shards of glass projectiles can cut you and the hot glass and food can burn you. You can decide if it's better to avoid the modern Pyrex ovenware.

For best results, when you use a glass dish don't go any higher than 350 degrees. And be very careful that you don't put place a hot glass dish on cold water, cold granite, cold metal, etc. Which is where collecting vintage Pyrex oven and tableware comes in! Keep in mind that it's better to hand wash the vintage glass ovenware, tableware and serving pieces as the dishwasher can damage the finish, especially the colors. It can make it look chalky. Also be careful stacking because you can scratch your pieces. If you stack, use something like a coffee filter, clean cloth (you can choose a pretty pattern and cut with pinking shears), or even cheap plastic food storage containers to keep your glassware from getting scratched.









Were there other glass makers? Yes, some of the common glass marks and companies you’ll come across in your search for Pyrex might be: “Fire King”, “Anchor Hocking” and “Glasbake”. Anchor Hocking Company is a manufacturer of glassware that is part of EveryWare Global Inc.. The Hocking Glass Company was founded in 1905 by Isaac Jacob "Ike" Collins in Lancaster, Ohio and named for the Hocking River. The company was a major producer of Depression glass. The first glassware produced as Anchor Hocking Glass Company was Royal Ruby in 1939. In addition, Anchor Hocking produced Forest Green Glass, Fire-King and Anchor Ovenware. Anchor Hocking has also made the switch from borosillicate glass.



Why would you collect vintage Pyrex and Anchor Hocking (and other glass oven and tableware)? There are many reasons:


It's practical. Yes, it looks good, but it's also very useful! You can use it for baking, serving, storing food. You can also use them for organizing.


And it looks great! There are so many colors and patterns to choose from. You can collect a certain pattern. Or collect certain colors. Or collect them based on their usage (glasses, ovenware, serving pieces, holiday pieces, etc). Many come with accessories such as holders. The glassware comes in pastels, primary colors, black and white, and those old 1970's colors like avocado green, gold, orange, burnt orange. You can get holiday patterns too.

I do NOT sell anything and do NOT have any pieces for sale. I only wanted to show you what I found on the Internet to give you ideas on what is out there. Vintage Pyrex or Anchor Hocking is still affordable and easy to find. So let's take a look. I guarantee you have memories that include these vintage pieces!





























































































Here are some examples of accessories that went with the glassware.

This family is not one of my husband's direct lines. Walker Kelly would be Stan's 4th cousin 4 times removed.

Broke In Store
Friday night the store house of Mr. Elzie Kelly was broken into and several dollars worth of goods stolen. Sometime during the next day Mr. Kelly saw a new pocket knife in the hands of a negro boy. He asked the boy where he got the knife. The boy replied that he bought it from Dool Eubanks . Mr. Kelly and Mr. Gallman came to Union Saturday afternoon and saw Eubanks, but Eubanks was inclined to dodge them and at last did get away from them. Mr. Kelly got a warrant from Magistrate Johnson, and the warrant was indorsed (sic) by the sheriff and sent to Mr. Joe Porter a constable, for the Kelton magistrate. Sunday, Mr. Parker arrested Eubanks and lodged him in the County jail. Mr. Kelly will of course get other proof. Dool Eubanks is a negro who has served several terms on the chain gang, having been convicted of larceny. He once got away from the county chain gang near West Springs altho he was shot at several times while making his escape. He was lucky enough not to get shot. He was afterwards caught and brought back by Mr. Robt. Sanders.

Mr. T.E. Kelly has made the best crop of cotton we have heard of for a year like this. He says he made 12 bales of cotton on eleven acres of land and some of them weighing 800 pounds to the bale. Mr. Kelly says he used his fertilizer as he cultivated his cotton just like some do their corn, and that was a good plan for a year like this, for it being so wet the first application, I believe was lost with the rain...

Effie Jessica Harmon Hazzard Kelly died in 1966 in Columbia, Richland County, SC according to what I saw on someone's family tree on Ancestry.com but I could not find her death certificate. Since she wasn't with Thomas in the 1930 U.S. Census and he is listed as a widower, she may have died between 1920 and 1930 and the 1966 date is incorrect.

Our niece, Jenny, took this photo of their middle child, Ryan. He is dressed so preppy and is giving his million dollar smile. I just had to scrap this little charmer. Here is the digital scrapbook page I made of him.

Here are some summer time digital scrapbook pages I made this week. The first one is of our grandniece, Brooke, with her cheap sunglasses!



Next we have our grand niece, Savannah, and her brother and our grand nephew, Will, eating popsicles on their front porch.



And, finally, we have Savannah and Will playing in their baby pool at home!

I am always inspired by people's ideas on even something as simple as where you keep your measuring cups and measuring spoons! I love going on the Internet and doing a Google search and seeing people's ideas and creativity. And it's what I try to share here. I don't want to keep it to myself, I want to share what I find just like others shared and gave me ideas!


I have a drawer in my kitchen for all my baking items and this is where I keep my measuring cups and spoons. I also have my cookie cutters, biscuit cutter, rubber spatulas, etc. But as I looked at how others organize and store their measuring cups and measuring spoons I got some great ideas. So here is what I found and I hope it motivates you like it does me.

After I had gotten Lil Miss MoneyPenny, we discovered dog rescue. My sisters got very involved and even have their own dog rescue organizations. Elaine rescues Pomeranians at PomRescue.com. In searching for adoptable Miniature Pinschers we found IMPS (Internet Miniature Pinscher Service). They have groups all over the US. They just rescue Min Pins. As I was looking through the photos of adoptable Min Pins in our area, I saw a photo that grabbed me. It was of a beautiful, tiny clear red Miniature Pinscher. He was a dark red and so little and his eyes.... Well, I fell in love.

Here was his story: He was given as a gift to a woman who didn't really want him. He got out and got hit by a car. She didn't take him to the vet immediately until he started showing signs of problems. His brain had swelled. So she took him to the vet to be put to sleep. The vet saved him and gave him to IMPS. He had brain damage. It made him whirl and his senses didn't work properly. I think his body worked fine but his brain couldn't interpret what his senses told him. For instance he didn't seem able to smell, taste, see, hear like a regular dog. Fairly quickly we became imprinted in his mind and he knew us, our voices, our smells, our home. But take him outside his comfort zone and he was on high alert trying to figure out what was going on. It would exhaust him quickly. Other than this he was pretty healthy and low maintenance.

He was in a foster home in southern Georgia so it was a 5 hour trip one way. My sister, Melinda, went with me and we took Lil Miss MoneyPenny with us to make sure they got along. It was a cold, raw day in December of 2003. His foster mother loved him to death and for years I kept up with her letting her know how well Spunky was doing. Anyway, everything was a go and I brought him home with us. It rained all the way home. He didn't know us from Adam and everything was strange. He must have been frightened but he didn't act like it. He was so brave and plucky that I named him Spunky Monkey.






The first day home I thought I had made a mistake getting him because he was so revved up. He whirled and twirled throughout the house over and over again for hours. But he finally wore out and slept. After that he seemed to accept where he was and to be OK. He quickly fell in love with us. Especially me since I was his primary caregiver and with him most of the time. He slept with me from day one.

His first day in our home.

His back feet had white tips on his toes.













Lil Miss MoneyPenny mothered him and took care of him until her retirement. She now lives with two of our Italian Greyhounds in the InLaw Suite so she doesn't have to be anxious over Spunky, Persephone and I. She was always so anxious and bossy over us. It was like we were her 3 puppies (me, I was the big, dumb puppy that she despaired of ever making into a decent dog). But she can rest easier out there. In fact, as we got the other 3 dogs (the other 3 being Italian Greyhounds), they seemed to instinctually know that Spunky was special and they never bothered him and always kept an eye on him. In the pecking order of the 5, Spunky and Persephone were the low men on the totem poles. The other 3 demanded and got more attention. But once I moved MoneyPenny and the 2 boys out to the InLaw Suite, Spunky and Persephone (Persephone is blind) became my special buddies. And Spunky learned to let his Min Pin shine! He became bossy, demanding and spoiled just like MoneyPenny. Miniature Pinschers are known to be this way. They call them the King and Queen of the Toy Breeds.
















He was very healthy and low maintenance until last year when we had some problems with allergies and one of his eyes. But we got over that. We finally figured out he must have been allergic to the peanut butter treats my husband gave him. He also seemed to have some mild allergy to grass. Normally, when he was outside, he stayed on the patio and didn't go down the steps into the grass. With his brain damage, he was sort of blind. Again, I believe it was more that his brain didn't sort out what his eyes told him. So he didn't know how to navigate stairs and didn't every go up or down stairs. But if he got in the grass, he would either start itching or in rubbing his eyes, it would start itching. Then he would rub his eyes too much and hurt his eyes. So I kept him off the grass. Now, all my senior dogs (all 5 are between 12-15 yrs old) stay indoors exclusively. Two of the Italian Greyhounds have skin cancer because of their sun worshipping days and we've had 4 broken legs from them sprinting around in the back yard. Then there are fire ants and birds of prey, heat and cold (which affects those metal plates and screws in their legs) so no more outdoors unless they are on leash and with me and for short periods of time.






















As he started aging, he began to get gray.































Here he was doing his little twirls, not too many since he was in our house and was comfortable and relaxed.
 



This past March, it was time to take Spunky Monkey in for his annual visit to the vet to get his shots, his check up and have his annual dental. I dropped him off and went on to Bible Study. The vet called me while I was in the Bible Study to tell me that Spunky had gone into a violent seizure before she did the dental. She had gone ahead and given him the anesthesia and did the dental because the anesthesia usually got them out of the seizure. But she didn't know how he would wake up. He could go into another seizure. AND, he had been off the anesthesia for 30 mins and still wasn't waking up and no responses. Normally they are waking up within minutes. So I rushed over there. They had him on a heating pad and wrapped up. He was intubated. They took me right back and I petted, talked and cried. I kissed him and loved on him. But for 45 mins there was no response. He kept getting colder; his eyes weren't dilating to light; he was limp; no flinching, nothing.


So I finally told her to put him to sleep. She got the shot ready and I was giving him a last kiss and telling him I loved him when he moved. The vet saw him move. So we kept working with him. I was petting him; calling to him, and he began to come out of it. Within 30 mins he was back to normal and I took him home. I knew we would never be able to put him under again, even for a dental. But he was just like he had always been, happy, healthy and spoiled.

We had him for a little over 4 months that way. Then on 7/22/2015, I woke up at 5am to him in another violent seizure. He had been sound asleep so there was no stress or cause. He had pee'd and pooped himself, was thrashing around, his tongue lolled out and his eyes wild and rigid. I wrapped him in a towel and held him. After 10 mins he got some better but his eyes still weren't right and he was still having tremors. When I put him on the floor he went into rapid whirling, enough to make me think he would get dizzy. So I continued to hold him in the towel. After 30 mins he went into another seizure. Stan saw it this time. This one only lasted about 5 mins and then he relaxed back to normal. I knew I would have to take him to the vet but we went back to sleep for a few hours. At 9:00am I called the vet and took him in. He was acting normal. But while at the vet, he went into the worst seizure yet. Again, the violent thrashing, peeing and pooping, tongue lolled out, eyes wild and rigid. They gave him phenobarbital and a sedative. This calmed it but, like before, he was still not right. He continued to have tremors, his tongue gripped between his teeth and his eyes not right. The vet said he could give me phenobarbital to take home and give to him twice a day. And we could try that but I knew it wasn't right to make him go through any more of those horrible seizures. I'm not very good in medical situations. I knew seeing him going through that would devastate me as well as him. I wouldn't have felt right ever leaving home in case he had a seizure while I was out. He was already 12 years old and the brain damage from his youth indicated to me that it wasn't going to heal itself. If he was young, I would have tried it but he was old. So I made the decision to have him put to sleep. They gave me an hour to love on him and I snapped a few last photos of him. He was heavily sedated. Then, while I was kissing him, petting him and whispering "Good boy", he went home to be with the Lord. I know I will see him again.




It was devastating. I cried off and on all day. Stan buried him beneath my bedroom window so he is with me. Persephone looked for him a couple of days. But now Stan, Persephone and I have healed enough for me to write this in his memory.

"You were my little butt, my little Spunky Monkey man. Mama and Daddy loved you and you brought us much joy. We will see you again."

I found this photo of my mother as a little girl riding her tricycle. So this is the digital scrapbook page I made of her.

Lena and Sibbie Gault are not in Stan's direct line. They would be Stan's first cousin 4 times removed. Their common ancestor would be Thomas Norman Kelly, Sr.. But if you have any corrections or can give me any of the missing pieces of information, please contact me at Mom25dogs@gmail.com

Let's look at Sibbie Gault first.
Sibbie Gault was born 8/8/1881 in Pinckney Township, Union County, SC to Thomas Norman Kelly (DOB 7/2/1826 in Alston, Fairfield County, SC) and Mary "Polly" Elizabeth Comer (DOB 7/12/1846 in Alston, Fairfield County, SC; DOD 4/18/1925 in Pinckneyville, Union County, SC). She was the 9th of 12 children.

March 19. - Last week was one of good fortune and pleasure to the writer.
On Wednesday at 7 p.m. it was my pleasure to unite in the bonds of matrimony Mr. J.H. Spears and Miss Lena Kelly. Mr. Spears is one of our best citizens - successful in business and a thorough Christian gentleman. Miss Lena Kelly is one of our most amiable and beautiful young ladies. They have the congratulations and best wishes of their many friends. On Thursday at the home of the groom several friends and relatives among whom was the writer, met and spent several hours pleasantly. A most elegant and sumptuous dinner was enjoyed by us all.
Shortly after dinner I was informed that a four horse wagon, loaded with corn and fodder, was on hand to be disposed of by the writer. I went at once to attend to it. Brother Felix Whitlock was the donor. It is not necessary for me to say that I was more pleased with the present. Such a valuable gift would under any circumstances produce profound gratitude on the part of the receiver and especially so during these hard times. Brother Whitlock is an extensive and progressive farmer and I understand has several hundred bushels of corn and bundles of fodder for sale at present.
May God bless him and his abundantly this year, spiritually and temporarily.

A Very Sad Death
Mrs. J.H. Spears Breathed Her Last Monday Night at 11 o'clock A peculiarly sad death was that of Mrs. J.H. Spears which occurred at her home on South Street in this city about 11 o'clock Monday night. She became the mother of a child Sunday morning, which child only lived about four hours. Mrs. Spears was sick about one week before she died, and her illness from the beginning until the end was quite severe and gave faint hope of her recovery. She was the picture of robust health before she became ill and no one who saw and knew her would for a moment think that she would so soon be among the dead. Truly 'in the midst of life we are in death."
Mrs. Spears was, before her marriage, Miss Lena Kelly, a daughter of the late Mr. Thomas Kelly, who lived near Kelton in this county. Mrs. Spears was a good woman and all who knew her liked her. She was the second wife of Mr. John H. Spears and was a good wife, kind and a good stepmother to the children of Mr. Spears, which is always an evidence of a truly good woman. She leaves two children, husband, mother, brothers, sisters, and a great many friends to mourn her untimely death.
In the bloom and prime of her young life of an affectionate and devoted husband, mother and stepmother of clinging, trusting, confiding, loving, bright and interesting children, a kind and thoughtful friend and neighbor, she was taken from this earthly paradise to that great world of eternal bliss.
The funeral and burial services were conducted by her pastor Rev. L.M. Rice and the interment in the city cemetery at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.

Death of Mrs. J.H. Spears

The Trinity is a deep subject and, as I am no scholar, I will try to tread lightly here.


Christians use the term "Trinity" to indicate the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Three In One. Three separate and distinct figures but who are in such total unity and support that they are considered as one Godhead. This is beyond our normal human comprehension and is called "the mystery". We do NOT believe in three gods such as Zeus, Apollo and Athena. In fact, believing in multiple gods is polytheistic (meaning many gods). We are monotheistic which means we believe in one God as the head of all things.

The hymn Holy, Holy, Holy

Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee.
Only Thou are holy,merciful and mighty.
God in three persons, blessed Trinity.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth and sky and sea.
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity.

Text: Reginald Heber, Music: John Bacchus Dykes



The three persons are distinct, yet are one "substance, essence or nature". They are co-equal, co-eternal and consubstantial. Cosubstantial means of the same substance or essence; participation of the same nature; coexistence in the same substance. Each is whole and entire, each is God. They are equal in eternity, power and wisdom. The Fourth Lateran Council declared, "it is the Father who generates, the Son who is begotten, and the Holy Spirit who proceeds".

The Apostle's Creed is an early statement of Christian belief—a creed or "symbol". The purpose of a creed is to provide a doctrinal statement of correct belief, or Orthodoxy. The Apostle's Creed appears for the first time in a letter, probably written by Ambrose, from a Council in Milan to Pope Siricius in about 390 A.D.: "Let them give credit to the Creed of the Apostles, which the Roman Church has always kept and preserved undefiled"

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Christian Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.




The Nicene Creed is a profession of faith widely used in Christian liturgy. It is called Nicene because it was originally adopted in the city of Nicaea (present day Iznik, Turkey) by the First Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. In 381, it was amended at the First Council of Constantinople, and the amended form is referred to as the Nicene or the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed. The churches of Oriental Orthodoxy use this profession of faith. The Nicene Creed was adopted in the face of the Arian controversy. Arius, a Libyan presbyter in Alexandria, had declared that although the Son was divine, he was a created being and therefore not co-essential with the Father, and "there was when he was not," This made Jesus less than the Father. Here is the Nicene Creed after the 381 A.D. revision:

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds (æons), Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; he was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried, and the third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; from thence he shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceedeth from the Father, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spake by the prophets. In one holy catholic and apostolic Church; we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.


The Athanasian Creed is a Christian statement of belief focused on Trinitarian doctrine and Christology. The creed has been used by Christian churches since the sixth century. It is the first creed in which the equality of the three persons of the Trinity is explicitly stated.

Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the catholic faith. Which faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled; without doubt he shall perish everlastingly. And the catholic faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity; Neither confounding the Persons; nor dividing the Essence. For there is one Person of the Father; another of the Son; and another of the Holy Ghost. But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one; the Glory equal, the Majesty coeternal. Such as the Father is; such is the Son; and such is the Holy Ghost. The Father uncreated; the Son uncreated; and the Holy Ghost uncreated. The Father unlimited; the Son unlimited; and the Holy Ghost unlimited. The Father eternal; the Son eternal; and the Holy Ghost eternal. And yet they are not three eternals; but one eternal. As also there are not three uncreated; nor three infinites, but one uncreated; and one infinite. So likewise the Father is Almighty; the Son Almighty; and the Holy Ghost Almighty. And yet they are not three Almighties; but one Almighty. So the Father is God; the Son is God; and the Holy Ghost is God. And yet they are not three Gods; but one God. So likewise the Father is Lord; the Son Lord; and the Holy Ghost Lord. And yet not three Lords; but one Lord. For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity; to acknowledge every Person by himself to be God and Lord; So are we forbidden by the catholic religion; to say, There are three Gods, or three Lords. The Father is made of none; neither created, nor begotten. The Son is of the Father alone; not made, nor created; but begotten. The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son; neither made, nor created, nor begotten; but proceeding. So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons; one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts. And in this Trinity none is before, or after another; none is greater, or less than another. But the whole three Persons are coeternal, and coequal. So that in all things, as aforesaid; the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity, is to be worshipped. He therefore that will be saved, let him thus think of the Trinity.

Furthermore it is necessary to everlasting salvation; that he also believe faithfully the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. For the right Faith is, that we believe and confess; that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man; God, of the Essence of the Father; begotten before the worlds; and Man, of the Essence of his Mother, born in the world. Perfect God; and perfect Man, of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting. Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead; and inferior to the Father as touching his Manhood. Who although he is God and Man; yet he is not two, but one Christ. One; not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh; but by assumption of the Manhood by God. One altogether; not by confusion of Essence; but by unity of Person. For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man; so God and Man is one Christ; Who suffered for our salvation; descended into hell; rose again the third day from the dead. He ascended into heaven, he sitteth on the right hand of the God the Father Almighty, from whence he will come to judge the living[17] and the dead. At whose coming all men will rise again with their bodies; And shall give account for their own works. And they that have done good shall go into life everlasting; and they that have done evil, into everlasting fire. This is the catholic faith; which except a man believe truly and firmly, he cannot be saved.





The baptism of Jesus is often interpreted as a manifestation of all three persons of the Trinity:

Matthew 3:13-17 (King James Version - KJV) Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. (14) But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? (15) And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. (16) And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: (17) And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

The word "trinity" doesn't appear in the Bible; rather, it is a theological label meant to summarize the passages of the Bible that relate to the relationship and unity between the Godhead. Both Old and New Testaments teach the Unity and the Trinity of the Godhead.



God is One.

God called Moses up onto the mountain and gave him the Ten Commandments. The first of the Ten Commandments dealt with the relationship man would have with God. The first commandment was that there were no other gods.

Exodus 24:12 (KJV) And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.

Exodus 20:1-8 (KJV) And God spake all these words, saying, (2) I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. (3) Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (4) Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: (5) Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; (6) And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. (7) Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. (8) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.


Isaiah 44:6 (KJV) Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

Mark 12:28-31 (KJV) And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? (29) And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: (30) And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. (31) And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

1 Corinthians 8:4 (Contemporary English Version - CEV) Even though food is offered to idols, we know that none of the idols in this world are alive. After all, there is only one God.

1 Timothy 2:5-6 (CEV) There is only one God, and Christ Jesus is the only one who can bring us to God. Jesus was truly human, and he gave himself to rescue all of us. (6) God showed us this at the right time.

John 10:38 (CEV) But if I do what my Father does, you should believe because of that, even if you don't have faith in me. Then you will know for certain that the Father is one with me, and I am one with the Father.

John 17:11 (CEV) Holy Father, I am no longer in the world. I am coming to you, but my followers are still in the world. So keep them safe by the power of the name that you have given me. Then they will be one with each other, just as you and I are one.

John 14:9 (Young's Literal Translation - YLT) Jesus saith to him, `So long time am I with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? he who hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how dost thou say, Shew to us the Father?

Romans 3:30 (CEV) There is only one God, and he accepts Gentiles as well as Jews, simply because of their faith.

1 Corinthians 8:4 (CEV) Even though food is offered to idols, we know that none of the idols in this world are alive. After all, there is only one God.

1 Timothy 1:17 (CEV) I pray that honor and glory will always be given to the only God, who lives forever and is the invisible and eternal King! Amen.

Ephesians 4: 3-6 (New International Version - NIV) (3) Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. (4) There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; (5) one Lord, one faith, one baptism; (6) one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

1 Corinthians 12:4-8 (CEV) There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but they all come from the same Spirit. (5) There are different ways to serve the same Lord, (6) and we can each do different things. Yet the same God works in all of us and helps us in everything we do. (7) The Spirit has given each of us a special way of serving others. (8) Some of us can speak with wisdom, while others can speak with knowledge, but these gifts come from the same Spirit.


"...an infinitely holy and sacred energy arises between the Father and the Son in mutually loving and delighting in each other... The Deity becomes all act, the divine essence itself flows out and is as it were breathed forth in love and joy. So that the Godhead therein stands forth in yet another manner of Subsistence, and there proceeds the Third Person in the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, namely, the Deity in act, for there is no other act but the act of the will.” - Jonathon Edwards

All three Persons, God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, are brought together, in like manner, as co-sources of all the saving blessings which come to believers in Christ.


God is Plural.

Genesis 1:26-27 (KJV) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Genesis 3:22-24 (KJV) And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: (23) Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. (24) So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Psalm 110:1 (KJV) A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Isaiah 9:6 (KJV) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Matthew 11:27 (CEV) My Father has given me everything, and he is the only one who knows the Son. The only one who truly knows the Father is the Son. But the Son wants to tell others about the Father, so that they can know him too.

John 17:4-5 (Easy To Read Version - ERV) I finished the work you gave me to do. I brought you glory on earth. (5) And now, Father, give me glory with you. Give me the glory I had with you before the world was made.

John 10:36 (ERV) So why do you accuse me of insulting God for saying, 'I am God's Son'? I am the one God chose and sent into the world.

John 8:42 (ERV) Jesus said to them, "If God were really your Father, you would love me. I came from God, and now I am here. I did not come by my own authority. God sent me.

John 16:26-28 (ERV) Then you will be able to ask the Father for things in my name. I'm not saying that I will have to ask the Father for you. (27) The Father himself loves you because you have loved me. And he loves you because you have believed that I came from God. (28) I came from the Father into the world. Now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father."

John 15:26 (ERV) "I will send you the Helper from the Father. The Helper is the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father. When he comes, he will tell about me.

Matthew 28:20 (ERV) Teach them to obey everything that I have told you to do. You can be sure that I will be with you always. I will continue with you until the end of time."

2 Corinthians 13:13 (CEV) I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will bless you and be kind to you! May God bless you with his love, and may the Holy Spirit join all your hearts together.

1 Corinthians 2: 10-13 (Amplified - AMP) (10) Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for the [Holy] Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God [the [f]divine counsels and things hidden and beyond man’s scrutiny]. (11) For what person perceives (knows and understands) what passes through a man’s thoughts except the man’s own spirit within him? Just so no one discerns (comes to know and comprehend) the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. (12) Now we have not received the spirit [that belongs to] the world, but the [Holy] Spirit Who is from God, [given to us] that we might realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts [of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly] bestowed on us by God. (13) And we are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the [Holy] Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language [to those who possess the Holy Spirit].

2 Corinthians 13:14 (Bible In Basic English - BBE) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the harmony of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.



The redemptive activities of God rest on a threefold source in God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit; and these three Persons repeatedly come forward together in the expressions of Christian hope.

1 Peter 1: 1-2a (AMP) (1)Peter, an apostle (a special messenger) of Jesus Christ, [writing] to the elect exiles of the dispersion scattered (sowed) abroad in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, (2) Who were chosen and foreknown by God the Father and consecrated (sanctified, made holy) by the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and to be sprinkled with [His] blood...

Jude 1:20-21 (BBE) But you, my loved ones, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, and making prayers in the Holy Spirit, (21) Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for life eternal through the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit were, by all, fully understood to be the means of our redemption. Their activities are distincly personal and, yet, they work together in undiminished unity towards the same purpose. The Father is a distinct divine Person, distinct from the Son and the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ was truly God, and yet was a Person distinct from the Father and the Holy Spirit. That the Holy Spirit is also a distinct divine Person. Whatever the Father does, He does through the Son by the Spirit. The Son is sent by the Father and does His Father's will; the Spirit is sent by the Son and does not speak for Himself, but only takes from Christ and shows it to us.

Hebrews 9:14 (ERV) So surely the blood sacrifice of Christ can do much more. Christ offered himself through the eternal Spirit as a perfect sacrifice to God. His blood will make us completely clean from the evil we have done. It will give us clear consciences so that we can worship the living God.

Each is fully divine in nature, but each is not the totality of the other persons of the Trinity. Each has a will, loves, and says "I" and "You" when speaking. The Father is not the same person as the Son, who is not the same person as the Holy Spirit, and who is not the same person as the Father. There is, apparently, a subordination within the Trinity regarding order but not of essence. They are equal and equally divine. But we can see that the Father is first, the Son is second, and the Holy Spirit is third. The Father is not begotten, but the Son is (John 3:16). The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father (John 15:26). The Father sent the Son (1 John 4:10). The Son and the Father send the Holy Spirit (John 14:26; 15:26). The Father creates (Isaiah 44:24), the Son redeems (Gal. 3:13), and the Holy Spirit sanctifies (Rom. 15:16). The Son is equal to the Father in his divinity but inferior in his humanity. So there is subordination in order such as a wife is to be subject to her husband; but this does not make her less human, or less in essence, or equality. By further analogy, a king and his servant both share human nature. Yet, the king sends the servant to do his will. There is an internal relationship between the three persons of the Triune God. They are in continuous, loving harmony and work in unity of purpose.

We may not understand it but that argues for it's truth as it would not be something a human being would conceive. God reveals Himself through the Scripture. Difficult concepts, such as the Trinity, are self revelations. Revelations that would not come from a man but from an infinite God. We are learning about an incomprehensible God, one who has always existed, will always exist, is every where at once, in which there is no time and who is all powerful and all knowing. These are impossible for us to understand and it is these mysteries of God that indicate that the Word is not a human conceived notion. Cults try to reduce god into something we can understand. God is not human. God is a complicated Being that cannot be described in human terms. We are one dimensional and have limited brain capacity so that we cannot possibly fully understand an unlimited God. There is no way for us to completely understand it.

Tri = three
Unity = one
Tri+Unity = Trinity or three in one
God the Son (Jesus) is fully, completely God. God the Father is fully, completely God. And God the Holy Spirit is fully, completely God. Yet there is only one God. The Godhead has three separate members that are connected together, and if you try to remove one you no longer have the Godhead.

The individual members of the Trinity have different tasks. The Father is the ultimate source or cause of the universe (1 Corinthians 8:6; Revelation 4:11); divine revelation (Revelation 1:1); salvation (John 3:16-17); and Jesus' human works (John 5:17; 14:10). The Father initiates all of these things.

The Son is the agent through whom the Father does the following works: the creation and maintenance of the universe (1 Corinthians 8:6; John 1:3; Colossians 1:16-17); divine revelation (John 1:1, 16:12-15; Matthew 11:27; Revelation 1:1); and salvation (2 Corinthians 5:19; Matthew 1:21; John 4:42). The Father does all these things through the Son, who functions as His agent.

The Holy Spirit is the means by whom the Father does the following works: creation and maintenance of the universe (Genesis 1:2; Job 26:13; Psalm 104:30); divine revelation (John 16:12-15; Ephesians 3:5; 2 Peter 1:21); salvation (John 3:6; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:2); and Jesus' works (Isaiah 61:1; Acts 10:38). Thus, the Father does all these things by the power of the Holy Spirit.


God is a Tri-unity, "with each Person of the Godhead equally and fully and eternally God. Each is necessary, and each is distinct, and yet all are one. The three Persons appear in a logical, causal order. The Father is the unseen, omnipresent Source of all being, revealed in and by the Son, experienced in and by the Holy Spirit. The Son proceeds from the Father, and the Spirit from the Son. With reference to God's creation, the Father is the Thought behind it, the Son is the Word calling it forth, and the Spirit is the Deed making it a reality."

The eternal triune God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being. -- Southern Baptist Convention

The Jehovah's Witnesseses reject the doctrine of the Trinity. It teaches a doctrine that Christ is the Son of God, a special being, created by God before the beginning of time, but not equal with God.

Mormons believe the Godhead is made up of three distinct beings who are "one in purpose" but not in being. Jesus is affirmed as Son of God, but not God himself. He is a created spirit.

The claim that ‘the Father’, ‘the Son’ and ‘the Holy Spirit’ are simply one person with three different roles or modes of revelation is the heresy of modalism. As Christians believing in the Christian doctrines, we must believe that the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God but they are not three gods, they are One Godhead. Christians thus believe that there is one, and only one God and that this one God is a Trinity of divine persons.

We are made in God's image. There are three parts that make up the whole of us. We have a human body. One that eats, runs, blinks and scratches. We also have a soul. The soul is our personality, our character, our thoughts and what makes me different from my sisters. Then we have our spirit. My spirit has been born when I became a Christian. This spirit is the new creation that the Bible talks about. The Holy Spirit lives within me now to grow, strengthen and empower this new spirit of mine. If my body dies, I am no longer Sharon. If my soul disappears, I am no longer Sharon. If my spirit were to die, I am no longer Sharon. It takes all three to make Sharon. Each is necessary to make Sharon. And Jesus died to save all three parts of me. When I die, my body dies but my soul and spirit go to be with the Lord in Heaven. When Jesus returns to establish the New Heaven and New Earth and the New Jerusalem, it says He will raise our physical bodies. These resurrected bodies will be immortal flesh and will once again rejoin our soul and spirit to ever live with the Lord in an eternal bliss.

This is only a simple analogy to a complicated God. So don't take my analogy as gold. It's just to give you an inkling. As I've said, our finite minds cannot comprehend the Godhead in it's entirety. We are not meant to as we are not God. Suffice it to say that we can accept this by faith. God knows that we don't have the power to understand it completely. It's a mystery to us. But He does reveal that the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God and that they are one God. We accept this in faith, based on His self revelation. I am imperfect and have a limited mind therefore I cannot understand the perfect and infinite Godhead. And that's OK. We believe what God has revealed and trust Him to be what He says He is. It is the same with His omniscience. Omniscience means all knowing. God knows everything. Everything includes our thoughts, our actions, our experiences, every piece of wisdom and knowledge. For instance, we don't know why people get Alzheimer's Disease. One day our scientists might figure out how something occurs but it's no mystery to God. Never has been and there is no mystery to Him that will ever be. He knows all. We will only figure out bits and pieces compared to His knowledge and wisdom. He knows the past and present and future. He knows all things. It boggles our mind to think He knows every thought just within our own minds, much less every human being that has ever existed, as well as, every mystery of creation!!!! We can't comprehend. But we accept it by faith because the Word says it. It is a self revelation by God.

1 John 3: 20 (NIV) If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.

Matthew 10: 29-31 (NIV) (29) Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. (30) And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. (31) So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Psalm 139: 3b-4 (3) you are familiar with all my ways. (4) Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.

We cannot comprehend how God loves us. We see ourselves as miserable, sinful wretches and we cannot comprehend that we are lovable. We can't see how mankind is worthy of love. But God is LOVE. He cannot be anything else but love because it is who He is. He must express love because He is love. And He has chosen to express love for us despite how unlovable we are. He created us. He formed us. He knows each and every one of us and desired to save us, so much so that He sent His Son to die so that He could have a relationship with us once again.  He adores us not because of who we are but because of who He is! We cannot understand it but we accept it by faith because it is a self revelation by God in the Word.

1 John 4: 7-10 (NIV) (7) Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. (8) Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. (9) This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. (10) This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Obituary of Thad Dean Kelly
Thad Dean Kelly (November 17, 1925 - August 25, 2009), a well known local volunteer, died of multiple medical complications Tuesday, August 25, 2009, at Baptist Village in Waycross. He was 83 years old.
Mr. Kelly was the youngest of the four children of John Wesley Kelly and Pearl Elizabeth Radcliffe Kelly. Born in Spartanburg, South Carolina, he attended public schools and was graduated from Spartanburg High School. Drafted into the U.S. Army, he was sent to Korea where he served until he was honorably discharged with the rank of Sergeant.
He attended the University of South Carolina and earned the B.A. degree. He was employed first by International Paper Company and several years later by the Department of Defense. He retired in 1987 and moved to Waycross where he had family, his sister and brother-in-law, Catherine and Quay Walters.
As a member of the First United Methodist Church in Waycross, he was a regular participant in Church activities. After a short time, he became known as the person to call on when something needed to be done. "Thad was always there for them, always willing, helping with wonderful grace, caring with a from-the-heart attitude" wrote Lynn Allen, administrative assistant at the Church.
Mr. Kelly was a leader as well as a volunteer. He was president of the Waycross chapter of the National Association of Retired Federal Employees. At his Church, he was president of the Arthur Moore Sunday School Class, president of the Booth Memorial Sunday School Class, president of the Chancel Choir, and treasurer of the Church. Most of these responsibilities were held multiple times.
Among the survivors are four nephews, Gerald Kelly of Varnville, SC, Michael Kelly of Spartanburg, SC, Thomas Kelly of Murrells Inlet, SC, and John Walters of Chesterfield, MO.
A service celebrating his life will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, October 19, at First United Methodist Church, Waycross. His ashes will be disbursed privately on Tuesday.
In keeping with Mr. Kelly's love of music, the Thad Kelly Memorial Music Fund has been established at First United Methodist Church, 410 Williams Street, Waycross, GA 31501-3067. In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial gift to his music fund, or to the favorite charity of the donor

I have always wanted a pantry because my Grandma had one off her farm kitchen. It was where she kept all her jars of the vegetables and fruit that she had canned. Much like this old photo I found on the Internet.



I have a "pantry" hallway. It has some pantry cabinets in it and we added some other shelves. Here is my "pantry".



































Anyway, I decided to do an Internet search and look at today's pantries.

Whether you have just a pantry cabinet, a corner or a large pantry room, I looked for ideas that would help you. Always keep in mind that you can do anything as long as it's kept clean. But no matter how much money you spend, if you don't keep it cleaned and decluttered, then it won't work or look good. And think outside of the box. If you don't have a "formal" pantry off your kitchen, then try to imagine a place that you could use as a pantry. Maybe some shelves in your laundry room or in the basement or in the garage? How about using a piece of furniture as a pantry. For instance, those old entertainment centers make fantastic pantry cabinets. Just add some shelves inside and voila!






But I looked for pictures of pantries that range from a few shelves, a piece of furniture, a cabinet or a large room.





I love this ingenious idea! Someone made a "pie safe" and used it as the doorway to their pantry. It completely hides the pantry.



A gorgeous (and expensive) pantry. Also known as a Butler's pantry.



























Another example of the cabinets hiding the entrance to the pantry.


























































This one is probably my absolute favorite. It is totally practical but is vintage. The only thing I would add to this room is a sink at the window. When you have this large of a pantry, you need a sink in it so that when you go to clean, you aren't running yourself to death back and forth to the kitchen sink. This is true for any large pantry. If you can afford it, go ahead and put a sink in it. This is great for cleaning those serving pieces that you store in a butler's pantry, as well as, for cleaning.

The Confederate Home and College, a cherished institution in Charleston, was built circa 1800. From 1810-1825 it was the home of Gov. John Geddes. During this time President James Monroe visited here. Before the Civil War it operated as the Carolina Hotel and also housed the Federal Court. In 1867, Mary Amarinthia Snowden and her sister, Isabella Yates Snowden, established a home for Confederate widows and orphans. Later they started a college on the premises. It is still known as the Confederate Home. The spirit of compassion of the Snowden sisters lives on today as the Confederate Home and College is a source of 5 college scholarships and moderately priced housing for qualified residents.

On Monday evening at 8 o'clock at the residence of Mr. J.M. Gault, of Jonesville, Miss Maude Kelly, of that place and Mr. Ernest Spears of Union, were united in marriage.

Treasure Chest Thursday is a daily blogging prompt at Geneabloggers.com used by many genealogy bloggers to help them post content on their sites. To participate in Treasure Chest Thursday simply create a post with the main focus being a family treasure, an heirloom or even an every-day item important to your family.

My post this week is about my father-in-law's wedding ring. He married Stan's mother when she was just 16 and still in high school. They couldn't afford rings so he made this ring at work. It was made from a steel nut that he fashioned into the ring. He died at the young age of 56 years old with cancer. His mother gave Stan, her eldest son, the steel wedding ring and we passed it along to our nephew and her grandson, Luke Harris, when he got married. This was the ring Hannah put on his finger at their wedding. I made this scrapbook page about The Ring!

Friday’s Faces from the Past is a daily blogging prompt at Geneabloggers.com used by many genealogy bloggers to help them post content on their sites. Tell the story behind a cherished family photo? Friday’s Faces from the Past is a way to highlight photos.

Our grandnephew, Ryan, had the cutest photos made at his daycare. His daycare teacher brought the props and outfits and got these great photos. They were actually taken just a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I didn't have the original photos to make these digital scrapbook pages. They are cell phone photos of the originals. But I think I still managed to do some great digital scrapbook layouts of them. I so appreciate his teacher getting these photos and his mother, our niece, Jenny, for getting them to me in whatever form!

Almost every genealogy buff I have ever talked to wishes they had asked their grandparents some question. One of my Dad's cousins was as deeply into genealogy as I am but back in the pencil, notebook and filing cabinet days. I heard him say, "If I would have just asked my grandfather who his grandparents were while he was still living!" You see, he couldn't find proof of which George Huneycutt was his great great grandfather. I happened to ask my mother-in-law, the youngest of 3 daughters, how her older sister met her husband and, believe it or not, no one remembers and they are both dead now. Even their children don't seem to remember.

Everyone enjoys attention and knowing someone finds their stories, wisdom and family knowledge interesting. So don't be afraid to ask questions. On the other hand, be attentive to when they get tired of all the questions. They may not can answer all your questions in one sitting. I try to ask my parents questions whenever we go somewhere and I jot down notes or take a digital recorder along then let the conversation flow naturally so it doesn't wear them out or get irritating.

And it's not just your grandparents but you can ask questions of your great aunts and great uncles, cousins, etc. Some will know different and new stories that you never heard before.


Here are some questions to ask the older generation:

1. Who were their ancestors (parents, grandparents, great grandparents)? What were their full names? Do they know their dates of birth and death, date they got married?
2. When and where were they born? Were they born in a hospital, at home?
3. Who were their siblings? Who did they marry?
4. How did they meet their spouse?
5. What did they do on dates?
6. How did they pop the question? Where were they? Did they get an engagement ring? If so, where did they get it and what is the story behind it?
7. When and where did they get married? Was there a formal wedding? Who was in it? Was it an elopement? 
8. What school did they go to? How far did they get in school? (Today, we assume most everyone at least got a high school education but graduating from high school was far from normal from the 1940's and back further. In the 1940's U.S. Census we are finding that most adults rarely got passed the 7th grade. If they continued after, it meant that education was a top priority in their family.) Where did they graduate? Who were their favorite teachers and why? What were their favorite subjects? If they got a college degree or graduate degree, what were their majors? Did they join any clubs, fraternities or sororities? What were the extra curricular activities they may have participated in? Sports?

10. What was their first job and where? How did they get that job? What did the job entail?
11. What was their first car? (Almost everyone has a story about their first vehicle!)
12. What is the story behind the births of their children? (For instance, my Mom miscarried their first child so when she got immediately pregnant with me, they were concerned about being able to carry full term so they rented a home within a mile of the hospital "just in case". My grandmother came to stay with her until after I was born too and that was a long trip for her to make.)
13. Why did they choose the names of their children? Is there a story behind it? Is there a naming tradition in the family? (Example, they named Flora after her great grandmother who died young.)
14. What was a typical meal like growing up? (My Grandma made a full breakfast every single morning. She got up and fired up the kitchen wood stove and made eggs, bacon/country ham/sausage, grits, red eye gravy, biscuits, coffee and juice. Lunch may be a bologna sandwich or cold leftover biscuit with butter and jelly but breakfast was the full spread!)
15. What was their living arrangements growing up? Did they have their own room, share with siblings, did they share a bed, did they sleep in an attic room, etc.

17. Did they, their parents or grandparents have hobbies? What were they? Fishing, hunting, raising prize chickens, possum hunting, making prize winning pies, quilting, sewing, making fishing lures, collecting recipes, etc? A lot of what you may have thought of as work and chores were actual interests and things they took pride in. For instance, you may not think of possum hunting as a "hobby" but my Great Grandfather had a dog he was very proud of for his possum treeing ability and how he captured the possum, fed him up on sweet potatoes, before killing him. He also loved fishing despite only have a cane pole. They had interests but it may not be like what we think of as hobbies today.

19. How did they celebrate the holidays? What was Christmas like for them? What Christmas presents do they remember? How did they celebrate Thanksgiving, 4th of July, Halloween, etc?

34. Do they remember where they actually lived such as the street address? What was their house like? Did it have plumbing, indoor bathrooms? How big was the kitchen? How many bathrooms and bedrooms? What was the layout? (Believe me, they can sketch a house they lived in.) Are the houses still there? My Mom has taken me to a mill town where my great grandparents lived before Great Grandpa Reese died and she pointed out the house they lived in when he died. My Dad's parents lived on their farm for almost their entire marriage. But my Mom's father was a Baptist minister and they moved all over the place. I like to keep the street address AND the GPS coordinates. Because sometimes the house is torn down, replaced or the street numbers change.
